The court ultimately ruled for nine years in prison.

Earlier, on October 29, Tashov had been hospitalized from the detention center, and on December 17, he again tried to harm himself by cutting his abdomen with a piece of glass.
Tashov faced charges including attempted violent seizure of power, public calls for the overthrow of the government, and illegal border crossing.
He was arrested in April last year in the village of Kaindy, Chui region. According to the State Committee for National Security (SCNS), he allegedly planned to establish a temporary headquarters in Kara-Balta to consolidate forces for a protest aimed at seizing power.
